Pros: Stainless double-wall insulated thermal carafe, 12-cup capacity, Auto shut-off after brew cycle
Cons: None yet
Summary: Okay, so I did not really NEED a new coffeemaker The old Hamilton Beach worked okay, and it made decent coffee. But the coffee flavor deteriorated quickly from sitting on the warming pad after brewing. I wanted a coffeemaker with a thermal ...

Pros: None that I have found
Cons: See my review
Summary: This is the worst coffee maker I have ever owned - I have had this 12-cup thermal carafe coffee maker for one year and yesterday, I threw it out into the backyard! Three times in three days, this coffee maker overflowed water and coffee grounds ...

Pros: Capable of Brewing Great Coffee
Impact resistant, insulated, stainless steel carafe
Cons: Extremely Annoying Beeps
Slow pouring carafe
Summary: My wife and I are long time coffee aficionados. We want our coffee to be the best it can be. We've found that this coffee maker meets out needs. It not only makes great coffee, but doesn't destroy it with a warming element. A bit of an explanation: ...

Pros: Makes good coffee, easy to clean, customer service picks up promptly.
Cons: Very short life of less than 2 years, carafe does not keep coffee hot.
Summary: I bought my original DTC-975 in September of 2004 when I was faced with getting up at 6:15 am to get my daughter to school by 7:40 am. I spent close to $100 on it, but it was worth it to me. I wanted a timer so I could have fresh coffee when I woke up. ...

Pros: Brews good coffee and keeps it hot for hours without getting stronger and bitter.
Cons: Takes care to screw on carafe lid. Coffee must be poured slowly.
Summary: Brews great coffee quickly. Convenient beeper to notify when done. Has easy to fill water reservoir and good access to filter basket. Keeps coffee hot 8 hours and very warm even longer without having to be on a warming tray. It's great to have hot ...

Pros: It has a thermal 12 cup pot and kept the coffee hot for hours.
Cons: overflows, electronics defective, no water filter, no basket, no back light on clock
Summary: I bought this a week ago (paid $80) and will be taking it back to the store where I bought it tomorrow. This machine is so bad. It was fine the first 4 times I used it (even the programmable feature did fine), but the 5th and 6th time I used it ...

Pros: 12 cup carafe
No heating element
snappy design
Cons: Incontinent
Had to hold it to get it to work
Summary: My sister-in-law has a habit of coming to visit and destroying my coffeemaker. One visit, she washed our Krups by immersing it a sinkful of soapy water. Since the rest of the in-laws were arriving that night, the wife ran out and picked up this bookend ...

Pros: coffee stays hot, pour-while-brewing, stylish
Cons: may run across the odd disastrous defect!
Summary: Loved this coffeemaker from the moment I got it, after carefully reading as MANY reviews as a month's worth of online browsing could find, including here at Epinions! Most important to me was maintaining temperature and not dripping. This unit did very ...

Pros: Kept coffee hot, but then so does a $1 airpot from the thrift store
Cons: Tepid coffee, carafe lid fussy, Mt. Vesuvius of a mess
Summary: For over a decade I brewed coffee in an ancient Krups machine, and then transferred the coffee to a thermal carafe. Not exactly an elegant process, but we had great coffee that stayed very hot for hours. We have a home office and people dropping in at ...

Pros: Produces good, very hot coffee and carafe keeps it hot.
Cons: Buttons are not waterproof. No slow drip option. Hard to read LCD.
Summary: Summary: Carafe keeps the coffee hot for a very long time. Carafe lid design eliminates buttons and pumps to pour coffee and keeps coffee hotter. The controls are at the base so steam will not harm the electronics. Simple to operate. Does have a ...

Pros: Warmerless thermos carafe keeps coffee hot for hours. Decently built unit for a drip machine.
Cons: The cup from this drip machine is dull, flavorless and lacking color.
Summary: After going through several "Mr. Coffee" type drip machines in the house (with and without timers, bells and whistles), my wife brought this beast home. Realize I'm a coffee snob - I roast my own beans, we only grind prior to brewing, and I use a ...

Pros: looks good, brews fine coffee
Cons: annoying beep tones, and you can't smell the coffee!!
Summary: I have experienced the same difficulties that other reviewers have had with this coffee maker. I don't have a problem with the coffee it makes, which is perfectly acceptable and comparable to coffee made by other drip coffee makers. I bought this ...

Pros: Very sleek look, easy to program, great coffee that stays hot.
Cons: Filter cup doesn't stand on its own and doesn't always fit easily into holder.
Summary: I bought this coffee maker at a discount store for 50.00 knowing really nothing about the Cuisinart name except that it tends to be pricey. I liked the look of the coffee maker, as we have a stainless kitchen with black marble counter tops and I ...

Pros: keeps coffee hot, generally easy to use
Cons: vile tasting coffee, hard to see fill line
Summary: We chose this coffee maker for a few reasons, the least of which is the Cuisinart name. One is because Cuisinart is a quality name in food processors so we figured that quality would extend to coffee makers as well. Also, we wanted it in white which I ...

Pros: Great looks, very hot coffee, quiet operation
Cons: Lacks removable water bin, filter basket won't stand on its own for coffee loading
Summary: I bought this coffee pot to replace a 5 year old 12 cup Mr. Coffee that finally died. I decided I wanted the benefit of a thermal carafe style, so set out looking for one with not only 12-cup capacity, but also a removable water bin (which I loved about ...
